Briane

Briane how long before my heart realizes you have gone my mind seems in sad collusion but you have gone i wait with a question on the tip of my tongue nothing echoes down the hall.

There is a definite presence associated with this poem...it conveys a desperate air of dawning finality; it is both depressed and yet slightly hopeful in a strange and inexplicable sort of way...most peculiar. I really do rather like it, Patricia. My warmest regards! :) john

One of life's greatest blessings, eventually becoming such deep sadness. Your few words speak such volumes.

Thank you Peter. We were married for 38 years most of our adult lives together. The sudden wrench of lose can be overwhelming.

You are correct Russell. Funny thing is grief never passes you just learn to live with it after a while.
